Checklist Repository

The National Checklist Program (NCP), defined by the NIST SP 800-70, is the U.S. government repository of publicly available security checklists (or benchmarks) that provide detailed low level guidance on setting the security configuration of operating systems and applications.

NCP provides metadata and links to checklists of various formats including checklists that conform to the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). SCAP enables validated security products to automatically perform configuration checking using NCP checklists. For more information relating to the NCP please visit the information page or the glossary of terms.
